194. Deemed fair use where reasonable portion copied for research or study
Feedback & supportMaking a copy of a literary, dramatic or musical work for the purpose of research or study is deemed to be a fair use (and section 191 does not apply) if —
copy
“copy” has the meanings given by the provisions in Subdivision (2) of Division 3 of Part 2;
the work is an article in a periodical publication; or
no more than a reasonable portion of the work is copied.
Subsection (1) does not apply to making a copy of an article in a periodical publication if —
another article in that publication is also copied; and
the copied articles deal with different subject matters.
To avoid doubt, this section does not limit what would otherwise be a fair use.
